Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Official Announcement

Seeing Yao Ran enter the dining room, Long Yu smiled and asked, "Ran Ran, are you hungry?"

"Mhm." Yao Ran took a seat beside him and nodded to Jia Xiang and the others.

Looking around, she noticed Wu Lian and the other soldiers were missing. Curious, she asked, "Where are Captain Wu and the soldiers?"

Long Yu served her a bowl of rice, handed her a pair of chopsticks, and replied, "Wu Lian took some supplies and C4 bombs and left before you woke up."

Understanding that Wu Lian needed to clear out the mutant rats as soon as possible to prevent another mutant rat from evolving into a mutant rat king, Yao Ran nodded and let the topic drop.

As they ate dinner, Quan Yuanwei suddenly entered the dining room with a bright smile.

Sitting across from Long Yu, he poured himself a glass of water, took a large sip, and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you guys want to hear first?"

Yao Ran exchanged glances with Long Yu and the others for a moment and then replied, "The good news."

Quan Yuanwei said, "I've been listening to government news through the radio fixed by Brother Shi. They just announced that the extreme heat will end soon, and the temperature will begin to drop in a few days."

"What about the bad news?" Huang Zhihui asked curiously. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

Quan Yuanwei's expression darkened as he replied, "Scientists discovered that a massive movement of tectonic plates causing super earthquakes is happening worldwide. The first shift occurred two months ago, but they only realized it after a megatsunami hit Haicheng Beach a week ago."

"Haicheng City is already submerged under the sea, and the sea level is still rising, pushing water further inland. They estimate that more land will turn into ocean in the near future."

As he finished speaking, the others gasped in shock while Yao Ran lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.

In her previous life, she had lived in Haicheng City for three years before moving to Juncheng Military Base.

At that time, countless people died when the sudden megatsunami struck Haicheng Base. She had been fortunate to hear the news early and leave Haicheng Base just two hours before the megatsunami engulfed the entire area.

However, that catastrophe had occurred more than three years after the apocalypse began in her past life. Now, not even a year had passed, and the megatsunami had already struck Haicheng Beach.

Yao Ran's fingers tightened around her bowl as she thought, 'It seems the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth has created massive waves.'

"The Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics also announced that changes in the atmosphere are affecting weather patterns in some parts of the world."

"They said natural disasters will continue for at least a few years and urged everyone to save as much food as possible. They warned the public to be cautious of sudden acid rain or dense, heavy fog."

Hearing this, Huang Qian frowned and said, "It's just acid rain and heavy fog. We have survived them before, so it shouldn't be a problem if they happen again."

Quan Yuanwei gave him a look before replying, "Brother Huang, the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics said future rain will all be acid rain. As for the heavy fog, it could be highly acidic, potentially causing lung cancer at the very least."

As soon as his words fell, Huang Qian went silent. He could tolerate another acid rain, but the thought of enduring years of it made him feel helpless.

Noticing Huang Qian's troubled expression, Shi Xuan said, "Since the government has warned us, the best thing we can do now is prepare early."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They finished their dinner while discussing what supplies and precautions they needed to prepare for the incoming disasters.

While everyone in the air raid shelter was busy stocking up on supplies, Xu Ruihan and the others finally reached the outskirts of Juncheng City after eight days on the road.
